[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old is doing as well as any in the pandemic - stressed, bored, ready to get back to normal, but generally happy with her pod and in good spirits. She's not an anxious kid normally, but may be showing some symptoms lately. She's recently been talking about constant stomach aches, and saying she's sad. When I ask why she's sad she says it's because she can't stop thinking about some mean girl dynamics that happened at preschool TWO YEARS ago. I don't even remember it being a big deal at the time, but I guess a group of girls were exclusionary and picked on some of the other kids. Now she's telling me all kinds of details and clearly thinking about it a lot. Is this just something she's fixating on because she needs somewhere to channel the stress and anxiety we're all feeling? Is this a symptom of anxiety? It's totally foreign to me, but maybe something other kids do? * When she brings it up we talk about bullies and how to handle mean kids, and try to work through the feelings and talk about how she can handle situations like that next time. She's with her life long BFF now, so I'm sure she's not experiencing any bullying currently. [/quote]
